Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing property and the Clifton and Hotwells Conservation Area
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with respect to the provision of outdoor space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties, having particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The combination of depth and width of the proposed extension would result in an expanse of built form that would overwhelm the rear of the property and fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Clifton and Hotwells Conservation Area, with private benefits insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial heritage harm.

- Development plan policies
